[PATCH] net: Move specific fragmented packet to slow_path instead of dropping it

From: Huajian Yang
Date: Thu Apr 10 2025 - 04:00:10 EST


The config NF_CONNTRACK_BRIDGE will change the way fragments are processed.

Bridge does not know that it is a fragmented packet and forwards it
directly, after NF_CONNTRACK_BRIDGE is enabled, function nf_br_ip_fragment
and br_ip6_fragment will check and fraglist this packet.

This change makes layer 2 fragmented packet forwarding more similar to
ip_do_fragment, these specific packets previously dropped will go to
slow_path for further processing.
